Taken from Chronicles of the Winds post 1287 by Nussan ~* Totem Spirit Revealing Quest*~
Personal totem spirits are the ones who watch over you and work with you through your life.
Walking beside us throughout our lifetime, is our Power Totem, that animal spirit with whom we share an especially strong bond, what some might think of as a "guardian spirit." The Power Totem is indeed that, yet so much more for they are our Brother/Sister, friend, messenger from the Ancestors.
The Animal Totem that comes to you offers you power and wisdom if you will learn to communicate with it, with respect, trust, and understanding. Having an animal totem means that you have lessons to learn and a powerful spiritual friend.
~*~ The Vision Quest
A person wishing to know their personal spirit totem is sent upon the vision quest to collect the items that will reveal their identities
The Vision Quest begins with the recognition of the God you worship by bringing along one of his keys. You will also need to bring one of the elemental (trigram) keys. Think carefully on which keys you will carry with you along this journey, for they too, will help with the revelation of your totem spirit. Following this, you must spend some time in meditation and watch for signs from your totem. During your meditation 5 signs will be presented to you, consisting of 5 items and their relative meanings.
~*~ The Revelation
After the Vision Quest is completed, return to your home and compile the results of your quest on to a scroll. Make sure to include the Totem Key, Trigram Key, and the 5 items along with each reason they were used or presented to you in your Vision Quest.
When this step is completed, you may request a shaman to reveal your Totem Spirit. If your story is incomplete in any way they will ask you to return to your meditations untill everything is revealed to you. Once the shaman has unraveled the meanings of your Quest, s/he will contact you to meet with them. At this time, please bring with you a piece of the Purest Quartz and both the Trigram Key and the Totem Key, and 10 Mountain Ginseng to aid us in meditation.
Through Spiritual Guidance the shaman will be able to reveal your totem spirit and provide you with a Totem Jewel to bring you closer to your totem spirit.
